We made it through, but our hearts are broken.

I can't even find the words to describe how difficult it was to hand Anne Pearce back to her foster mother. It makes me cry right now just thinking about it. When Andrew had to go to the lobby I prayed so hard for God to give me peace. He did. It didn't take away the pain, but I didn't worry about her. Jacqueline brought her husband with her tonight, and we all cried. They are such faithful Christians. Even though I couldn't understand a word they were saying I knew. She felt my pain and was so gracious. She told me that the night she was given AP she and her husband, Oscar, prayed for a good Christian family for the baby. She said it will hurt her so badly when AP comes home with us, but we are her destiny. She said God told her she would have AP for 2 more months. It makes leaving her so much easier knowing she is with good Christians. They sing her hymns everyday!! She also gave me her email address, and said she will send me pictures and video!!!!! Praise God!!!! What a blessing that is. I am amazed by the way God continues to bless us. He is an awesome and loving God. I feel like I am sitting in the palm of His hand right now. He is comforting me in a way I cannnot explain.

This journey has been wonderful. God led us here to our daughter and blessed us over and over again. Our faith has led us to Anne Pearce, and I know it will bring her home.

I will end on a very happy note:
We entered Family Court today!!! Praise God!!
We love you all, and I feel you praying for us. DON'T STOP.

Lou, already missing my daughter
